So ever since they started the new water park Cowabunga Bay in Draper Carson has been begging to go. Every single time we drove by it, he would ask "Is it open yet?" He was beyond excited when it finally opened. So since we are not going on any family vacations this summer (having to bake 900,000 cookies kind of does that...) I wanted to try and do some fun things around here.I told Carson that if he did well in swimming lessons and listened and went under we could go. He did amazing in swimming lessons and is now sticking his face all the way under even when no one asks him too! So we finally found a good day for everyone and went to Cowabunga Bay. Carson was beyond excited and could not wait! It actually was a lot of fun! Carson loved every minute of it. Brynnley even loved the slides too. I would go down with her, set her outside the slide and before I could get up she was already half way up the stairs. The above picture is me going with her. She didn't even mind being doused in the cold water (for some reason all the water on the slides was cold!)
We also spent a lot of time in the lazy river. Carson loved just floating around and around. He didn't even have to hold onto anyone! (Huge water/swim progress for him this year!) Brynnley loved it to, although she wanted her own tube (Remember Miss Independent) so it was a little difficult keeping her in that.
Kyle and Carson on the "green" slide, of course you know Carson had to go on that slide a lot!
Carson going down the yellow slide, he went down on his back, on his tummy, and face first!
Carson in the lazy river, he didn't want me to take a picture of course!
All of us relaxing in the pool by the lazy river! A big thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for coming with us!

That looks so fun! How fun to have grandma and grandpa go! I'm not sure we're going to make it there this year because of the little one. :) Thanks for the tip about later hours!
It looks like so much fun! We're so proud of your "water progress," Carson! You will love swimming! Thank you to Grandpa and Grandma Ford for being such willing participants! Cowabunga dudes (and dudettes)!
